Club career
Milton Keynes Dons
Asonganyi joined Milton Keynes Dons' academy at a young age, progressing through various age groups and into the club's development squad. Following a productive start to the 2017–18 season with the club's under-18 team, in which he scored 9 goals in 7 appearances, Asonganyi was reportedly gaining interest from Premier League clubs including Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United.[3] As a 16-year-old, he was named as a substitute for the first team in a 0–0 EFL Trophy group stage fixture against Stevenage on 3 October 2017.[4]
On 30 December 2017, Asonganyi signed professional terms with the club, signing a two-and-a-half-year deal.[5] After missing the latter half of the 2017–18 season through injury, Asonganyi made his professional debut on 11 August 2018, being named in the starting lineup in a 1–0 home league victory over Bury.[6] Three days later, Asonganyi scored his first professional goal for the club in a 3-0 EFL Cup first round home win over Charlton Athletic.[7] Asonganyi joined Maidenhead United on loan on 13 March 2020. He played a single game before his loan was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[8] Following the conclusion of the 2019–20 season, Asonganyi was one of nine players released by Milton Keynes Dons.[9]
